charged particle particle   uncertainty principle A particle with non-zero chargenon-zero  electric or magnetic fields
lepton elementary particleFermi-Dirac statistics 1/2exclusion principle Elementary particle like the electron and neutrino that do not experience the strong nuclear force. Unlike the strongly interacting hadrons, the leptons have small masses.    
radioactive particlethe total energy produced when the particle decaysparticle   uncertainty principlethe products produced immediately after decayA particle which can produce harmful radioactivity directly through its decay or by interacting with other particles. The average time in which a particle decays
